Great for 10 year old
Absolutely adorable STEM toys. The directions are simple enough for kids to follow. I will say you’ll probably want an adult nearby to help with tightening the screws all the way without them stripping the metal. I’d say the quality of these are great especially for the price. My daughter who’s 10 loved building all of them on a rainy day. They’re small enough but not too small. I also appreciate the extra parts.

Fun project for kids (with some help from adults)
I bought the “STEM Kits for Kids Crafts 6-8 8-12” to build with my granddaughters. Overall the sets were well and the parts were somewhat pre-sorted to help identify which were to be used for different steps. The instructions are fine for an adult/instructor but I think they would be very hard to follow for the targeted age group.My only real complaint is that the screws used are VERY small and difficult to install. You are only putting the screws into plastic, but the screw heads are small and the provided screwdriver requires a significant amount of pressure to get the screws started and not strip out the screw heads. Even with a good screwdriver, the screws are difficult to install.If I were building the kit alone, it would have taken about 15-20 minutes the first time through. With my 6 year old granddaughter’s help, it took about an hour. We both found the build to be fun and the kit was an excellent complexity level to keep her interested without becoming overly frustrated.

Screws too short to hold
UPDATE I decided to return this item. I got this for my kid’s birthday. We put together the airplane and the small screws are way too short to hold the motor bracket in place. It was shoddy from the very start when the motor bracket kept falling off without the motor attached. There was an extra longer screw that was provided with the kit so used that to hold motor bracket in place. Motor bracket has only one screw but needs 2 screws so we need to keep turning the propeller/motor to the correct position to get it to work. Also hard to attach wings to spacer’s because the screws are too tiny/short to hold pieces together. Very frustrating having to put it together repeatedly bc it keeps falling apart!! Instruction manuals given are mediocre-the writing is very tiny. So far the airplane robot works well and is fun to play with.

These kits work!!!
They really work! I got these as a brain-break for kids during tutoring. Every one really works. I would not recommend for manually-challenged kids, though. The first graders couldn’t handle it. One student is a 2nd grader who still grasps his pencil in a fist, and he could not even begin to do this. My students who did best were 3rd-graders who had no manual issues (only reading issues, which is why they came for tutoring. And this made a great brain-break after intense reading and spelling sessions.)
